Yes we sent our old ones to Modern Motorsports and they made the adapters for us. They look real beefy the way they mated our old centers to the new CV hub, they look unbreakable. I guess we will find out real soon.

My brother Jerry did the conversion on Thursday and it looks really beefy. I had to lower the rear sway bar today to gain additional clearance, also installed an alternator on the car in preperation of putting it on the street again, my brother Jerry is ordering some MT street radials. We plan on going to the track next weekend and test her out and see how it does. I will keep you posted. I wanted to thank Zgad and Speeder for their input and help. Just wanted to keep everyone updated. John

Well I had to vote SBC, We have a BBC 496cu... it performed okay, But the SBC is the best bet, parts galore, not expensive, and is a proven power plant.

Happy Birthday to Mike Kelly and Mike KZ. Go out have a drink or two on us. Tell the Mrs. to be good to ya tonight. Oh bye the way welcome to the 40+ group. John and Jerry

Front end travel, you need to install limiters on the front end, also you will need to limit how much the rearend squats when launching. We finally have ours adjusted pretty well.

If it is for drag purposes only and maybe some street time, you can weld up the rear end to make it positraction. Drag radials will do fine. we are going to try some of them at SEZ7 in September. Remember weight transfer is the key. John

My helment took two aa batteries. Like you use in remote control devices.

I had an issue with mine helmet doing the same thing. Found out the batteries were low. Replaced the batteries and all is fine now. I bought my help it about 4 years ago when they first came out. John

In my application with the supercharger we use 20% of NOS of a 175hp system which is aroung a 35hp shot as a intercooler effect. When we use NOS on a N/A engine at full potential it increases compression, thus the reason you have to retard the engine at 2 degress for every 50 shot of NOS. I think with a dry NOS system you can get away with a 100hp shot on fuel injection, the sensor will automatically increase the fuel for you. Hope this helps. John

I guess my brother and I Z-car would be the 6-71 BDS Super Charger sticking out of the engine compartment and running low 9's on stock Z-suspenison with u-joint half shafts. John

Like the color, good taste. Video played fine.

Thumper our Z weight is with the 412sbc with alum heads and a single carb 2360 without driver.Our car started out as a 1976 280Z. Jerry

Does the trans pan still have the groves / raised areas in it? If not buy a new pan. If it does then I would buy two gaskets and silicone them together, than place on pan with silicone. Let dry, then tighten to trans but use a 1/4 drive and do not tighten too much, contiune to use the cross pattern in tighten.

Congrats David on the Mud Bog, can't wait to see the videos. John

Nice looking job, what is the width of the nineinch rearend? Keep the pictures comming and the progress reports. Jerry@jnjdragracing

We run an older style msd box a 6400T, they are used in circle track / nascar. They have a lot of extra stuff you can hook into them. If I was going to buy another I would buy a 6al2, or if I had the extra money a 7al2. If you are planning on running a supercharge / turbo charger then get the msd with the boost control ends in btm if I remember correctly. I have never used a mds5, but I would spend the extra and get the 6al2.

Welcome aboard Shamrock. Be careful over in Iraq..... Come home safe.

The block looks like it is aluminum, If it was mine I would tig it and go with it. john

Yes the link works, it sounds good and throughty. I am a big fan of dual carbs and a tunnel ram. That is what I used to run before stepping up to a blower / supercharger. Just to mention if you have not done it, besure to check your vacumm as far as power valves, you might have to go with a smaller ones or block them off. John

You can use www.streetfire.net, and put the link on this site. John

Thanks Ross, I will be looking for the email. I will let my brother know that you answered and all is good. John

no, but I will, Thanks.... John
